Splendid Specimens Produced in Some Of

shoemaker, Daniel Howell, while col.

Brook. near Paterson. New Jersey.
This was purchased by Messrs. Tiffany
& Co. for $1,000 in 1856. and led
10 the great pearl excitement. Millions
ofunios were collected. and many thou
sands of pearls found, and some Of
them very fine ones. One, however,
which weighed nearly four hundred
grains, and would perhaps have been
the finest pearl Of modern times. was
destroyed by cooking the mussel. They
have since then been fished out AS far
west rs Ohio. At Waynesvillc and
other places OH the Li'tlc Miami river
many fine pearls have been found. and
more recently fine ones have Seen

to my small visitor. He was a lad o,
twelve or fourteen years, with y round
face, now very rosy from contact with
the winter air. 1t wore frank and
open expression that quite charmed
me, and his demcanor was as modest
as could be wished. l set oys-

him in conversation. This did with
such good results Aat by the time

Work is work, and it's pretty hard

'Type-writing. Does most Of her

payment the day it was due. But the
fun we had after it was paid for! Elsie
had lots of work to do, and the first
holiday we both had we went on such

the remembrance.
"What was the lark?" Iasked, deep
ly interested.

4 Cure for Cha, 'psd Lips and STUDY a
the eau. VI Wrinkles.

the CauA y VI "AWhASos
"As soon as the cold wind begins to
blow" remarked physician, Il am
oyerrun with patients suffering from
chappcd lips. The trouble generally
nanifests itself in one wt.t cut in the
middle Of the lip. fused to n eat such
things as laughing matter ana
prescribe some Simple cmollient. s. ch
as glycerine, for instance. But l soon
found that such treatment was only !.
temporary remedy. for after partially
healing the cut would reopen at the
slightest cxertion Of the lips. The
mere act of biting any thing hard,
laughing or yawning would make thn
unfortunate howl with pain. If the
patient was addicted to the use Of to-
baceo the chances were that he wou' i
have bad lip all through the winter
In my researches for = permanent cure
! ran across an old tramp printer who
had rubbed against the rough side uf
the world all his life, and for whom
every season had been cold day.
He told mo that if l investigated the
matter l would find that the people
addicted to chappcd lips were in the
habit of touching them with their
tongues. A sure cure, said he, is 10
keep your tongue in your mouth. /
have since followed his suggestion IN
my practice, and never knew it to fail.
The rough skin ofthc tongue scratche 5
the lips, and when they have once BIZ
come chapped the least contact is
enough to keep the cut open
Il have recently been making n
study Of wrinkles continued the
doctor. ut is customary TO say that
wrinkles come from worrying, but the
| truth is that most of them come from
laughing. This is rather paradoxical,
| must admit, but have been only
convinced after the most careful in
yestgation. To know how to laugh is
| Just as important as 70 know when to
do it. If you laugh with the sides oi
your face the skin will work loose in
time and wrinkles will form in exact
accordance with what kind of y ugh
you nave. The man who always wear,
u smirk will have \ series Of semi.
circular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
When u gambler, who has been ac-
customed to suppressing his feelings,
laughs, a deep line forms on each side
of his nose and runs to the upper cor.
ner Of his mouth In time, this line
extends to the chin and assumes the
shape of ha,f.moon. A cadavcrous
person, with wax-like skin, is very
apt to have two broally.marfcd
wrinkles, one running up from the
Jaw and the other under the eye.
These meet at right angles at the
cheek. bone, and look as though they
formed q knot at the apex The
scholars wrinkles form on his brow,
while the schcming politician $ come
around his eyes, where they look for
all the world like the spokes of .
wheel. Some Of the fat women who
bet on horses have the most aStonish-
ing crop of wrinkles | ever saw out
side of an elephant Ole in particular
was so strongly marked that whenever
she smiled over big win the wrinkles
in each cheek would form themselvc ,
into the shape of n perfect pretzel. -
